Robin's Nest

Well Good Morning to everyone!!! I have the day off and of course all my big plans to get up early and get an ever growing list of things do underway did not occur... so sad. Last night was a late night at the "rest" home as nobody seemed to want to rest! Of course being the end of the month there are plenty of new orders to transfer to next month's MAR ( nedication administration record). You see we are not as "hi-tech" as some places, we still use pen and paper...I love it! I did manage to keep my eye appointment in town. It was just a follow up as I went back to contact lenses hoping that my nystagmus would settle down a little. That seems to have occured but I still can't read anything with the contacts and have to use reading glasses. The provider seemed to think a different lenses might be better but so far... nope. So I asked if maybe just using the reading glasses was an option and maybe what strength to buy. I think this might do it. Al...

So after working my 2 shifts I thought I would check in and see if any of my invites were accepted... not yet so I will guess that my group idea doesn't really appeal to my friends. Point taken. Talking about what happens to you with this exciting and sometimes crazy stage of life does help. Most of the women that I have run into have not discussed this openly. Once the conversation is initiated by me sharing some really annoying side effect the comments come pouring out! It is getting the conversation started that seems to be really hard for the women I have met. Guess what if we live long enough we will experience this phase of life! We can chose to sit on the sidelines and have no control or we can attack the event and take over (to a degree that is). But even choosing to sit on the sidelines we will not be watching from the outside, we will be swept up in the changes and quite possibly panic over what is happening to us. A few years back I was working the night shift at ...

Well I thought I should start a Menopause Support group so I did.... I sent out invitations to a few people and now I just have to wait and see who will join me and admit they are in this stage of life ( I feel the little red hen that wanted help making bread and couldn't find one helper until it came time to eat the bread!) Too bad my memory has gotten so frazzled... I can't remember the name of the storybook. Oh well maybe someone else will.

I suppose this is a start... there are dishes waiting and laundry and tons of "crafting" projects sitting around here... and here I sit at the computer trying to organize my day. then the idea strikes me! I should start a blog! I have no clue how or where to start so I call on my eldest daughter to point the way and here I am (she is really not helping the environment around here by starting me on this). Well if anyone has any suggestions of how to get me motivated to get up and clean before I start my 12 hour work shift let me know... otherwise these things will be waiting for me at 6 am tomorrow.
